Thread Name: BS: Debbie Shlussel on Lara Logan
Subject: RE: BS: Debbie Shlussel on Lara Logan
What happened to Lara Logan was an abomination. One hopes that she does not suffer long term, physical, disease, or mental problems...and that he recovery is quick and complete. Also, one hopes that her career does not suffer; Logan is a brave person doing a dangerous job.
The actual perpetrators of her assault and rape will likely never be apprehended, let alone punished.
It begs the question as to why CBS withheld this information until other media were about to release the story. Were they protecting her privacy? If so, it perhaps would put other reporters in future danger.
Did they not report it because it might give the uprising a black eye; it doesn't comport with CBS view of the overall events? Was CBS worried that Muslims would take offense if they reported the story?
I am agnostic as to the Egyptian revolution. I wonder if the result will be a new government put together in a rather peaceful manner like the formation of the USA after 1783, or whether it will become more like the French Revolution with a decade of strong-men and massive bloodletting before a stable government is formed.
